Customize: Chinese civilization epic timeline

Make an epic chronicle film, "中华文明史" ("A History of Chinese Civilization"); you can write code to render frame by frame, then composite with ffmpeg.
The music is the clock: pentatonic scale, with instruments evolving from bone flutes and bianzhong bronze bells all the way to an orchestra, BPM speeding up with the eras, and every cut landing on the beat.
Alternate between two art styles: baimiao line drawing on xuan paper, and gold-leaf on a dark background; each volume has one dominant color and a set of patterns that evolves with the era (painted-pottery patterns → taotie patterns → cloud-qi patterns → scrolling-grass patterns → interlocking-branch patterns → meander/fret patterns).
Each shot has one big calligraphy keyword appearing phrase by phrase, paired with a line drawing. Full-film HUD: volume number in a vermilion seal at top left, dynasty names in vertical text on the right, and a scroll timeline ruler with a year counter at the bottom.
Volume boundaries use an impact transition of a vermilion seal stamping down with a heavy drum-and-bell hit. First set the beat grid and storyboard table, then render.
Maps are schematic only; don't depict real modern or contemporary people; verify the dates before delivering.

For best results, run it with Claude Opus 5.5.
